dc.description.abstract | The Family Support Agency Act 2001 was enacted with the purpose of
rationalising and enhancing the main family support programmes in Ireland. Prior to
the passing of the Act, numerous support services, most of them in receipt of state
funding, had become available for families and communities. These services ranged
from mediation and counselling services to community support programmes. Many of
the services arose organically, in the community development context, and were
subsequently enhanced by legislative measures. The Commission on the Family
emphasised the need for a greater balance of resources in dealing with the legal
consequences of marital breakdown, and providing social supports for families in
vulnerable situations | en |
